Now, let´s begin with explaining what makes this fanart so special snoflakey! Well, this is not made to honor some fanfiction, this is a super cool collaborative work made with a fantastic friend from Facebuk, Karla Ríos. She made the Lineart (and decided which character we will had to make, and also the background style! Very spacey xD).
I did make the coloring, but digitally, and she made it traditionally! Woah!

Yeah, Karla does a lot of great art with traditional tools, if you are interested, you can check her work here! You won´t regret it ;D

Now, let´s get dirty with the making of this delicious husbando— eeem, the favorite Gintama character for KR! (ups, I almost slipped there, teehee!)
This fanart is based on canon art, like this one! (well, exactly is this one, but ssshhshsh!).

She totally draw it with just markers in real physical paper sheet and all! She´s a consumate artist!

Now, on with my process, which will be more of a serialization of how the different color and shades layers are coming to life, because the lineart process is all a mystery for me! (ask Karla if you want to, I´m sure she will have an explanation for it!)

Beginning with the curious oriental umbrella Kamui always carries around, which serves him as a weapon, as protection from the cruel sun (he´s literally the opposite of superman! yeah!) and recreate singing in the rain!

Ok, enough with the close up! (for now…) This background badly needs to be made!

Now we have the whole Kamui drawing ready, the next step is to make a cute background, just like the one KR asked for, a cosmic spacey background directly out of Star Trek— I mean, a Gintama´s manga cover!

I have been meaning to make an art collab with Karla since forever! And I achieved my dram at least Yey! Coming soon, another cool surprise she´s preparing for me! woah, for now, I'm coming back into my cave to finish my various homeworks... Chaozz~
